LOCAL NOTES.

The editor-in. n.chief of the "dcmoCrat- ic" weekly tender of this happy burg has departed for parts unknown; SIMS wife, sd,ls honor Sans paramour
 Henry Fientje, the barber, has re- moved from Grand avenue to State street, near Elm where he will continue to remove superfluous hair and fly the banner of reform.
 All men in sympathy with the inde- pendent labor movement are requested to meet in Central Labor Hall at 8 0 clock tomorrow Sunday. Business of im- portance will be considered
 Reading and thinking workmen who wish to be thoroughly posted on the labor question will do well to call at the office of the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE and examine our large stock of labor littra- ture.
 The Governor has signed the weekly payment bill, and the Winchester bosses and all other bosses who like to hold the wages of their workmen as long as they can so they may be able to draw as much interest as possible, will have to swallow the dose. There is one sa,is- faction, they cant have it all their own way, even if we havea republican cap itaIist at the head of our State govern ment.
 Report has it that certain so-called pronnnent labor reformer in New Haven loans money to his fellow wage workers and receives interest for the use of the same If this report be true and we find it out, we hereby inform this mini ature Shylock that we will show him no mercy, sinceit is equal to robbery to take aims from poor men while doing a shylock business.
 Summer is coming and with it a vigor ous desire to use the weapons of the strike and boycott. They are both good and legal means of bringing greedy cap. ital to terms; but we will say use them carefully, the strike-the boycott should be whenever necessary. It has been used in all countries, in all ages; and it W HI VI pN unSh uitl NN'ly agrees to be just to his brother.
 New Haven seems to be an improbable place for notoriety hunters. They get plenty of notoriety, but they cant live on that. Thus the notorious Curtis and one or two of his whilom confreres who made weak and hidden attacks on the Labor Party and its servants have skipped the town" May they take with them the lesson that honest men cannot be injured by the islanders of known crooks.
 Some of our capitalist contemporaries are apparently rejoicing over the alleged escapade of an ex-employee of the Typo graphical Union. But his folly does not compare with that of certain Orange street Sunday school superintendent a few years ago who was exposed by the late Dr. Barry arrested by the police, and his case quietly settled for the sake of his wife and children and his wealthy connections.
 The Fair of the Dominican Fathers whhich lasted two weeks, closed last Tuesday night It is believed that the net profits will amount to about SIC, ,000. The Knights of Columbus banner was won by San Salvador Council; the mill tary statue, by the Emerald Guard; the Forester's badge, by Mir. Moriarty; and the blacksmith's hammer, by Mir. Haughey. Many beautiful and useful presents were won by those who took chances at the different tables
 We understand there is movement on foot among the bosses of this city to follow the example set by the creatures of their "class" in Rhode Island, hy re- fusing to employ Knights of L!Dur or trades unionlsts. We'll, let them begin it as soon as they like. The sooner the better. It will only cause the sleepy masses to wake up-to unite as one man for their rights-for their mutual pro lection and preservation from slavery darker than that of the middle ages.
 We have beer informed that in cer- tain shop in this city the contractors are trying to antagonize the workmen of the different races by discharging one and retaining the other This is an old game of the rotten ariStocracies of Europe whose methods the would be masters of America wish to establish here, and W C are not surprised at this reported attempt being made in New Haven. We warn the men of the shop above referred to not to allow this ruse to work-not to allow the bosses To divide and conquer.
 We would like to see the Land and Labor Club take little more interest in the discussion of questions of public i'm. portance. This was one of the reasons why it's members organized it, therefore, we hope they will endeavor to carry out their good intentions. An ounce ct
